It is well known that balance control is affected by aging, neurological and orthopedic
conditions. Poor balance control during gait and postural maintenance are associated with …

Purpose There is growing evidence that vertebral column function and dysfunction play a
vital role in neuromuscular control. This invited review summarises the evidence about how …

Background and purpose: The model of Bobath clinical practice provides a framework
identifying the unique aspects of the Bobath concept in terms of contemporary neurological …

This study investigated the influence of gait speed on the control of mediolateral dynamic
stability during gait initiation. Thirteen healthy young adults initiated gait at three self …

Objectives Low back pain affects the person's ability to keep balance, especially in
challenging conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate effects of …

Objectives: This study investigated the effect of cervical flexor muscles fatigue on neck
proprioception and postural stability. Methods: Forty-five male and female subjects were …

Despite the abundant literature on obstacle crossing in humans, the question of how the
central nervous system (CNS) controls postural stability during gait initiation with the goal to …

Time to stabilization (TTS) has been introduced as a method to analyze dynamic postural
stability during jump and landing tasks, but has also been applied during the transition task …

Introduction Previous studies have shown that anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are
altered in people with Parkinson's disease but its meaning for locomotion is less understood …

During gait initiation, anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) precede the execution of the
first step. It is generally acknowledged that these APA contribute to forward progression but …
